The scumbags all want to turn back

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Gu Zhaoting said in surprise.

"It's okay, it's okay." The Duchess of Royce forced a smile and said, "I just... suddenly thought of my little daughter... This child's eyes and chin are exactly the same as my little Madeleine, and The way the mouth smiles... oh my god..."

Duchess Royce's voice became more and more choked, and she couldn't say a word for a while, she just looked at Ning Yuanchen's photo again with tears in her eyes, then closed her eyes and turned her head away, not looking again.

Gu Zhaoting did know that the Duchess of Royce had two daughters, Queen Catherine and Miss Madeleine, and the youngest daughter passed away in an accident when she was just an adult. Now they are all dressed in mourning clothes, live in seclusion, never participate in any banquet activities, and seldom interact with others.

The Duchess seemed to be afraid of touching the scene, and never talked about her young daughter who died early with others, even Gu Zhaoting, so Gu Zhaoting had only heard of the name from other people and seen a few photos.However, this happened many years ago. Gu Zhaoting had long forgotten Miss Madeleine's appearance, but he never thought that Ning Yuanchen would be somewhat similar to his grandmother's youngest daughter.

Unexpectedly, introducing someone he likes would make grandma cry. Gu Zhaoting put away Ning Yuanchen's photo embarrassingly, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm sorry to make you sad."

The Duchess of Royce took his hand and shook her head, indicating that all this had nothing to do with him.Gu Zhaoting raised his head, and accidentally found that Gu Ye also turned his head away, looking into the distance, his eyes were slightly red, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were sad.

Gu Zhaoting immediately thought of the gossip that had been circulated privately in the palace. Although it has almost disappeared now, from time to time, some low-level vulgar gossip magazines would still bring it up.

Rumor has it that the emperor had his eyes on Miss Madeleine, the queen's own younger sister. However, Miss Madeleine ended up getting pregnant with an officer out of wedlock, and finally eloped with her lover out of fear of the emperor's revenge and the family's punishment.In order to cover up the scandal, the Royce family only announced that Miss Madeleine died unexpectedly during the interstellar travel.In a fit of rage, the emperor married the current queen Caitlin.However, even after suffering such serious injuries and humiliation, the emperor still couldn't forget the love affair and couldn't get over the pain caused by his lover's betrayal, so he was always depressed and didn't get close to Queen Caitlin.

Although no one in the upper class talked about these gossips anymore, and Gu Zhaoting used to regard them as nonsense, but now looking at the emperor's performance, Gu Zhaoting suddenly felt that maybe the truth was really hidden in these gossips.

Gu Zhaoting lost his father and mother when he was young, and all the elders of the previous generation have passed away, leaving only a group of distant relatives who have only seen in the family tree, so he was adopted by Gu Ye, and he was taken into the palace alone crown prince.Queen Caitlin did not agree to adopt the imperial family, and Gu Ye was only fulfilling royal duties, and had no interest in taking care of children. He stayed alone in a strange palace, surrounded by strangers who were scary to him, I was too scared to sleep at night.

Fortunately, the Duchess of Royce was kind-hearted and took the initiative to enter the palace to take care of him, treating him like her own grandson, personally taking care of his diet and daily life, and even sleeping with him at night, which made him through the difficult adaptation period .For Gu Zhaoting, the Duchess of Royce is his dearest relative in this world, so when he saw her cry, he felt very sad, and quickly put his arms around the Duchess' shoulders, saying: "If you really If you miss your aunt, how about I introduce Yuan Chen to you and let him accompany you often? Yuan Chen has no father or mother, so he will be very happy to have a grandmother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhaoting regretted it. The Duchess Royce couldn't even see a photo of someone who was somewhat similar to her daughter. Wouldn't it be even more sad if the real person was in front of her eyes.

Sure enough, the Duchess covered her eyes with her handkerchief again, and sobbed softly.

At this time, Gu Ye, who seemed to have calmed down his emotions, said: "It is very good for the prince to have such filial piety. However, the child does not need to be brought into the palace. After all, even if they look exactly the same, they are just an unrelated person. .”

Gu Zhaoting nodded, and gently patted the Duchess Royce on the back until she calmed down, wiped away her tears and continued to ask: "Since this child is someone you like, how are you doing now?"

The three of them chatted until noon, and the Duchess of Royce naturally wanted to stay and have lunch with them. After the meal, the Duchess, who was a little tired, said goodbye and left the palace.Gu Zhaoting also returned to his palace.

Gu Ye changed into casual clothes, sat down on the easy chair in the conservatory, spread out a book, read a few lines, only felt irritable, so he closed the book, closed his eyes and meditated.

However, a few minutes later, he opened his eyes again, and whispered to the valet behind him, "That child does look somewhat similar to Madeleine."

Even though the scandal between Ning Yuanchen and Gu Zhaoting had been raging on the Internet, as an emperor who has always been indifferent to such boring things, Gu Ye saw Ning Yuanchen's photo for the first time today.

Gu Ye's personal servant is his confidant who has been with him for decades. When he heard the emperor's words, he nodded and said: "From what the Duchess of Royce said, Mr. Ning is indeed somewhat similar to Miss Madeleine. From this point of view, you and Your Highness are not biological father and son, but better than biological father and son, and even your favorite looks are similar."

Gu Ye smiled, opened his eyes, and there was some gentle sadness in his eyes: "It's still different. Madeleine is very gentle and beautiful, soft like a rose that just bloomed. This child, too It's sharper, more like the thorns of a rose, the kind that has seen blood. I thought that with the prince's character, he would prefer someone who is more elegant and indifferent, and the prince might not be able to suppress such a child."

The attendant said: "If there is really love between a husband and wife, there is nothing that can't be suppressed. The prince looks cold and arrogant, but in fact he has a weak personality. A person like Mr. Ning just complements him."

Gu Ye smiled dumbly: "You are right. Weakness and strength are the only way to go on. If there are two equally weak people, I'm afraid..."

He didn't go on, just sighed and reopened the book.

The second day of the exercise ended in an intense but methodical busyness.After a day of intense discussions, everyone finally came up with a fairly comprehensive battle plan. The discussion process was full of various quarrels and roars. It is necessary to control the order of the meeting room, but also to pay attention to the overall situation of the air-raid shelter outside, and the team leaders of each professional team will ask Ning Yuanchen for advice from time to time.

These are all children who have just grown up, and many of them are in an environment where there are no adults at all, only their own decisions, they don't have much life experience, and many of them are children of aristocratic and wealthy families. , but the usual superior life also makes them not have much understanding and tolerance.The collective life in the air-raid shelter can be said to be the worst living environment they have ever experienced in such a big life. Yesterday, because they felt fresh and did not have much dissatisfaction, after a night of calmness and heavy tasks, everyone’s young master and miss His temper was ready to explode.

Ning Yuanchen added candied dates with a big stick, put the troublemaker in confinement, tried hard to persuade the remaining team members, held an emergency meeting with the team leaders, and formulated reward and punishment measures, which stabilized the situation.By the end of the day, he felt like he was falling apart.

"This is really an offending job." Lying on the seat that turned into a single bed, Ning Yuanchen murmured to Alan and Jason beside him, not afraid that what he said would be caught by the monitor. The school always hears, "Even if I got the highest grade in my grade because of this, it can't offset the losses I have caused to me by the classmates I offended today and the hatred I incurred. If I had known earlier, I would not have done it."

In the room of the Imperial Military University Guest House, Mu Jingfeng saw the exhausted Ning Yuanchen complaining like a pique, and immediately couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, he called Mr. Mu's phone number: "Grandpa, I used it when I was studying. Jijia, where did you keep it, can you find it for me and send it over?"

Mr. Mu glared: "When someone chases a boyfriend, it's like sending flowers or a watch, at most, a house or a car, but you are generous and just give me a mecha! Do you know how hard it was to build such a non-military mecha back then?"

Mu Jingfeng said: "Anyway, it's still idle. Now the mecha technology is developing rapidly. If you don't use it now, it will really be eliminated in a few years."

"You think I've been retired for so many years, have you forgotten that the combat experience stored in the mecha AI is the most valuable technology of this mecha?" Mr. Mu snorted, "Even if the hardware is behind, it can be given to me in the future." My great-great-grandson enlightenment!"

Mu Jingfeng's expression froze, and he said, "Sorry, grandpa..."

"What apologies! If you feel sorry, hurry up and coax him to change his mind, and hurry to the hospital to bring back my whole fat boy or daughter!" Mr. Mu stomped his feet, "I'll find the mecha for you, but I can't give it away for nothing. You can get a kiss with a bouquet of flowers, but if you give me a mecha, you can’t get anything back. If you mess up, I’ll break your leg when you come back!”

After speaking, Mr. Mu immediately hung up the phone.

Mu Jingfeng stared at the screen in a daze for a while, and finally he could only turn off his brain with a wry smile.
